    Hokkaido Sapporo-shi Chuo-ku Minami 2-jo nishi 5
    This shrine was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Tanukikoji Shopping Arcade, one of the oldest shopping streets in Hokkaido. It was originally at Tanukikoji 4-Chome, but now can be found watching over the visitors to WINS Sapporo B Building. The shrine venerates a Tanuki Jizo statue, which offers eight different blessing depending on where it is touched, and so is affectionately known as Tanuki Shrine. Several events take place in front of Tanuki Daimyo Shrine throughout the year, for example the Hatsu Tanuki Matsuri festival on January 2nd, or the Tanuki Hattoku Reitai Matsuri in August.

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
